What kinda vice you want? Name your poison. If I considered greed to be a vice, I'd have about a dozen more tracks to add to this list! If I considered drinking to be a vice, I could even add a comedy section :)

Insanity / Incoherency:Tackhead: Mind at the End of the Tether (lots of samples of crazy preachers)Birmingham 6: A Good Day (lots of samples of Charles Manson)MC 900 Foot Jesus: Born with Monkey Asses (samples from a paranoid schizophrenic who makes the Time Cube Guy look sane)

My friend Scott sang that song incessently for months. He was struggling with his own issues at the time!Also quoted in the classic '80s flick "Gotcha!"

Coil: The Anal StaircaseFrankie Goes To Hollywood: Relax

:D 8) :Da curvy blonde in ripped jeans singing Touch Me. talk about a hook ;D I went right out and bought the cassette and I still have it. I just listen, I don't sing along, no serious issues here. ::)

as for the song The Anal Staircase... what the heck? :o and the song Relax, I do dig that song. in fact I watched a couple versions of the video, one was some rare banned version and I didn't see anything that was bannable.

Subject:Re: Favorite Pop/Rock Songs about "Vice"

That's why I said that some of the titles Prince were too raunchy to name. And you left off a couple of straight up nasty ones. (It's Tracks #6 and #7 on the Dirty Mind album) ;D

And I love the "Miami Vice" theme. ;D

Leon Haywood - I Want'a Do Something Freaky To YouMusic sound familiar? I tip my 40 to Dr. Dre. Smooth song. Title says it all baby.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EzUBh1eK2kE

The System - Don't Disturb This GrooveHang a sign on the door that says Don't Disturb This Groove.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HWKKuF9wcDA

Samantha Fox - Touch MeHot song, but the mood is killed when I think of Samantha with that Burly Bull Dyke.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MiuimDNlyuQ

Patrick Cowley - MenergyNot a vice that i have been a part of, thank goodness. Lyrics are hysterical. Explicit gay connatations aside, the music is cool for 1981.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=olZdpr2a-TI

Joe Tex - Ain't Gonna Bump No More (with a Big Fat Woman)I haven't partaken in this vice for a long time. Funny disco song from 1976.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xSwRtcSf8Gs

Okay, Cannonball sounds like a kid song about sex.

Plus, the songs in general sounded like sex from a non-marital stand point. Which is consider a vice of sorts from a religious view.

Edit: I felt like I was being targeted in this case while not being the first to post about that subject(in other words, it made me feel like it's okay for others to post it but not me when you asked me that).

Good songs. Donna Summer's "She Works Hard For The Money" is about prostitution? I didn't know that. She must work hard, really hard.

Iam Siam: She Went Pop

I believe this was about a pornstar getting murdered.

Iam Siam: I am Siam

It's a vice for you just to listen to this song!

Huey Louis and the News: Hip to be SquareDid you ever listen to it backwards?

The Fibonoccis: Old Mean Ed GeinDear Mr. Manson, have you heard from or seen a man from Wisconsin by the name of Ed Gein? You turned me on to the Beatles and Stones but he taught me love for the beauty of bones...http://www.inthe00s.com/smile/12/help.gif

TSOL: Code BlueMy favorite line: "They do what I want, and they don't complain!"

(Run Ni**er Run) (It's just a regional version on a hillbilly tune going all the way back to the British Isles, but there it is...how can they have come up with the title. "Well, Bill, let's call this one..." :o

I put sex (unless a comorbidity) out of the picture. How man rock 'n' roll songs can you list?

What about the song "The Anal Staircase"? It might not even be literal, might be metaphorical. I'll just leave it alone. Coil can really get into your brain and corrode your soul if you're not ready for it...

The Anal Staircase seemed to play on themes of murdering one's own soul and remaining alive...http://www.inthe00s.com/smile/12/hiding.gif

Co-morbid means more than one disorder occurring at once.

I had to chuckle as Coil's "Scatology" and "Horse Rotorvator" albums were gaining underground chic because the PMRC was worried about Twisted Sister and Cyndi Lauper! Not to mention JG Thirwell (aka Clint Ruin) who recorded as many variations on " foetus" eg.Scraping Foetus Off the WheelScraping Foetus Off the The WallYou've Got Foetus In Your BedYou've Got foetus On Your Breath 8-P

Karma for Foetus. You haven't lived until you've heard (Come to) Bedrock, by Thirwell's band incarnated as Fotus, Inc, from the Foetus album Sink.

It's sort of an industrial-blues-burlesque/striptease kind of thing.

If that makes no sense, close your eyes and try to imagine Jabba the Hutt singing Sarah Vaughan's "Fever" in a venue that makes Jabba's hideout in Empire Strikes Back look positively classy by comparison. That's almost as far out there as Bedrock. It's seven minutes of delicious maliciousness, and featuring the foetal trifecta of brass, bass, and ass. Sing it loud, sing it proud. Come to Bedrock.

My personal favorite is still "Enter the Exterminator" from the "Nail" album!"The stories are old, the comments are cold/I'm covered in lice and scabs and mold!" 8)JG Thirwell is a bad dude, but he's the real deal, not a poseur like Al J. You can just read Thirwell's lyrics; they're good on their own as poetry. No so of most "Industrial" music, which was really little more than highly electrified hair metal (Ministry, Nine Inch Nails)...or dance pop like Click Click or Front 242!

To start talking about Coil arnound here is like showing rotten.com to your five-year-old daughter. Probbably shouldn't do it in the first place!

Anyway, whatever connection you've got with The Anal Staircase and I hear you knocking but you can't come in is strictly your own! :D

What he said. And I like both the electro-hair-metal dance-pop/EBM styles of industrial.

Now, back on to vice. Personally, I don't consider greed to be a vice, but since Maxwell brought up hair metal...

WASP: Fistful of Diamonds, from their album "The Last Command", 1985. Opens up with a stock ticker and a few earnings reports, and then cranks up the glorious 80s metalocalypse that was W.A.S.P.

Fortune, come here to me, It's power that rules the game!Seduction of silver and lawless greed,I love it all! I damn the shame!The root of all evil can hear me call:(chorus)"I want a fistful! Fistful of diamonds!I live for the glory and fame!I want a fistful! Fistful of diamonds!The millions are callin' my name!" - from WASP, Fistful of Diamonds
